Magna council votes to enter closed session to discuss real property
Summary
At a special July 30 meeting at the Webster Center, the Magna City Council voted to go into a closed session to discuss the purchase, exchange or lease of real property after a voice vote in open session. No public action on the underlying property matter was recorded in the transcript.
An unidentified presiding speaker at a special meeting of the Magna City Council on July 30 said the council would move into a closed session to "discuss the purchase exchange or lease of real property." The meeting took place at the Webster Center.
The presiding speaker described the item as a strategy session and asked for a motion "to move to closed session specifically to discuss, strategy session to discuss the purchase exchange or lease of real property." A motion was made and seconded; the presiding speaker announced a voice vote with members responding "Aye" and no opposition was recorded. The council then moved into closed session.
The meeting record in the transcript lists several names as present during the quorum check, including Mick Sudbury and Steve Perkopis and refers to the mayor as "Barney" and to "Tim Audrey Pierce," but the transcript does not record any further public discussion of the property matter or a formal tally of votes. The motion to enter closed session, and not the underlying property transaction, was the only formal action taken in open session.
The transcript contains no ordinance numbers, contract details, dollar amounts, locations of the property, or staff recommendations related to the purchase, exchange or lease; those details were not specified in the open portion of the meeting. The council proceeded into closed session after the vote; the transcript does not record results or decisions reached in that closed session.
